The simple answer is that AA will not be able to re-write the contract to add things not in the AA proposal to the FAs.   If AA isn't proposing now to make such a change, it won't be imposed if AA abrogates the contract.

To be perfectly honest, APFA should be trying to curtail their flying and make them do what United has to do with theirs.  Furlough them if there is any furloughs of APFA members.  Or make them belong to the union and make them members of APFA.  They might help with Latin America, I just wish they spoke better English.  They seem to make EPT's/CQ class go longer than needed when they can't understand the instructors or fail to show up because they couldn't be bothered to arrive on time.

To be perfectly honest, I always believed the F/A's had larger nads than our amt's, especially after the crandall strike. I can't believe YOU will stand idly by and watch 2300 union based F/A's hit the street while foriegn nationals stay on and work side by side with you all.

Say what you want about the EA union workers, but they didn't allow Lorenzo to push them around. They knew what their fate was when they all decided to wildcat, but they did it anyway. Talk about having balls!

Didn't these foreign national FAs arrive with the AA purchase of Eastern routes in 1990?    Perhaps they are former Eastern employees?

Then, why didn't APFA force these F/A's to join the union??

so, you guys accepted non-union employees to work side by side with you??  

and, you went on strike over what????

are you kidding me???

[FA Mikey]

They have contracts with the company. Certain landing rights are tied to their employment.
No we are not kidding you and the strike was for maintaining work rules and for additional compensation.
